“Congratulations, this is the Pure White Badge, proof of defeating the Hachimitsu Gym.”
The battle ended, and Ichiro walked to Mako’s side, handing the badge of his gym to Mako.
“Thank you.”
Mako received the badge.
【Ding! Quest Completed, Reward delivered to Space Backpack.】
Mako looked at the badge and realized that all badges in the Kanto region were named after their color.
The Nibi Gym is the Grey Badge.
The Cerulean Gym is the Blue Badge.
The Vermilion Gym is the Orange Badge.
...!
Only the Yuhong Gym uses a colored badge, but it still uses colors as names.
After the Gym Battle.
Mako and Natsue returned to the Pokemon Center to pack their belongings, they would leave Hachimitsu Town tomorrow.
Mako gave Jolteon and Blastoise to Nurse Joy and went to the public training ground, releasing his Pokemon for physical training.
Before training, Mako called over Exeggutor and Crobat.
“Exeggutor?”
“Da?”
Exeggutor and Crobat thought Mako was going to change their training method when they saw him keeping them.
“You guys have reached the level, I'll upgrade your level.” Mako said, placing his hands on Exeggutor and Crobat, he consumed 5 low-level Wonderous Candy to level them both to level 30.
“Exeggutor!”
“Da!”
The two Pokemon were surprised, they could feel their level increase and even awakened new skills.
Seeing this, Mako also checked their attribute changes.
【Pokemon: Exeggutor♂】
【Type: Grass, Psychic】
【Level: 30】
【Potential: Quasi-King】
【Ability: Chlorophyll】
【Skill: Absorb, Hypnosis, Reflect, Ingrain, Psybeam, Egg Bomb, Seed Machine Gun.】
【Learned Skill: Dream Eater.】
【Intimacy: 240 (Full Value 255)】
......!
【Pokemon: Crobat♂】
【Type: Poison, Flying】
【Level: 30】
【Potential: Gym】
【Ability: Infiltrator (Can bypass the opponent's barrier or Substitute to attack.)】
【Skill: Absorb, Supersonic, Mean Look, Toxic, Cross Poison, Air Slash.】
【Intimacy: 170 (Full Value 255)】
Exeggutor and Crobat were lucky, their growth level reached 30 and both awakened new skills.
Exeggutor awakened Seed Machine Gun, which is one of the few Grass-type physical attack skills of Exeggutor, and Exeggutor has three brains, so using this skill is even more advantageous.
Crobats awakened Air Slash, although the power is not high, it is finally a Flying-type skill, giving Crobat another multi-type attack skill to make up for the shortcomings in attack.
Mako also tried to have Exeggutor learn Low Kick.
【Ding! Learning failed, this Pokemon cannot learn Low Kick.】
Mako was a little surprised when he heard the system prompt that learning had failed.
Isn't Low Kick a skill you can learn if you have feet?
Exeggutor has feet, why can't he learn it.
“Alright, go for physical training.” Mako didn’t think much about it, and threw the forced exercise machine to Exeggutor and Crobat.
The two Pokemon immediately put it on and started their daily physical training.
Mako didn’t idle either, he went to Alakazam who was doing psychic training and petted Alakazam, teaching Alakazam Low Kick.
This time, the system did not prompt a failure.
【Pokemon: Alakazam♂】
【Type: Psychic】
【Level: 23】
【Potential: Quasi-King】
【Ability: Synchronize (The Pokemon will share the status ailments of the opponent. The opponent will also share the effects of certain status ailments with the Pokemon.)】
【Skill: Teleport, Psybeam, Reflect, Miracle Eye, Disable.】
【Learned Skill: Dream Eater, Low Kick.】
【Intimacy: 200 (Full Value 255)】
Alakazam did indeed learn Low Kick, but it didn't improve much for Alakazam.
Alakazam's physical attack stats are only 50, about the same as the initial forms of the starter Pokemon, it can be used against some weak Pokemon, but against powerful Pokemon, this skill is useless.
Low Kick is a skill that only suits Pokemon with high physical attack stats and heavy weights.
However...Low Kick is a skill given by the system, since Alakazam can learn it, then learn it, more skills won't hurt, and teaching Pokemon skills can also increase intimacy.
The effect of intimacy is simply that the Pokemon will listen to training more, but Mako knows that the higher the intimacy, the more the Pokemon can break through its limits in battle and exert unexpected combat power.
It's a pity that Alakazam can learn Dream Eater, but it doesn't know Hypnosis. Unless the opponent actively uses Sleep on their Pokemon, Dream Eater can't be used.
Hypnosis seems to be a skill that cannot be taught, and it is also in Alakazam's racial skills, it depends on whether Alakazam can awaken Hypnosis in the future.
After teaching Alakazam Low Kick, Mako tried to teach Growlithe Low Kick, but it also failed, Growlithe could not learn this skill.
无奈, Mako had no choice but to give up. After Jolteon and Blastoise were treated, he also taught them.
The result is... Jolteon couldn't learn it, while Blastoise learned it.
......!
A day later.
Mako and Natsue left Hachimitsu Town and rode all the way to Yuhong City.
After a day of long-distance travel, they came to a mountainous area, where there were very few green plants, just mountains and rocks.
“Satoshi’s Mankey was caught here.” Mako remembered the environment here.
Satoshi’s Mankey was encountered in this area when traveling to Yuhong City, that Mankey’s Fighting talent was incredible, and even helped Satoshi win the P1 Fighting Contest.
In the end, Satoshi saw that Mankey loved Fighting, so he gave Mankey to Sendou, and promised to meet again in the future, but the finale came, even Pidgeotto returned, and Mankey didn't appear.
The key is that that Mankey has high potential, Mako estimated that it has at least King potential, and was sent out by the fool, it was a waste of talent.
You can participate in the Fighting Contest anytime, there is no need to send out Mankey, especially Mankey can evolve further into Primeape.
Since Satoshi is destined to release this Mankey, it is better to let Mako capture this Mankey himself. Mako is currently lacking a Fighting-type Pokemon.
According to the timeline, Mankey hasn’t evolved yet, it is just a Mankey, it usually moves around the mountain road.
And this Mankey isn’t afraid of people, and it also accepts the rice balls given by Satoshi and others. It might often get food from passersby, so it isn’t afraid of people.
